Popis: | This study evaluated the reliability of MALDI-TOF MS coupled with statistical tools for the identification of Streptococcus mutans in comparison with PCR-based techniques. Bacterial isolates were identified and serotyped by conventional PCR, using S. mutans species and serotype-specific primers. For bacterial identification, mass spectra data from S. mutans and other streptococci were compared with Biotyper V 3.1 database and the mass peak lists were examined by cluster and principal component (PCA) analysis. Identification of potential biomarkers was performed using UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and UniProtKB/TrEMBL databases and BLAST tool of the NCBI database. PCR identified 100% of the isolates as S. mutans. S. mutans strains were typed as serotypes c (85.6%), e (8.6%), k (4.8%), and f (0.9%). Although only the 70% of the strains tested were identified at species level by the Biotyper database, PCA and cluster analysis of mass peaks allowed the identification of 100% S. mutans isolates and its differentiation from the other oral and non-oral streptococci. One mass peak at m/z value of 9572.73 was identified as species-specific biomarker for S. mutans. No biomarkers were identified for S. mutans serotypes. KEY POINTS: • MALDI-TOF MS coupled with statistical tools for the identification of S. mutans. • Detection of species identifying biomarkers by MALDI-TOF MS. • PCR identification and serotyping of S. mutans from saliva samples. |
